    In the early morning of the next day, Li Tang got up early and went to the town to buy firewood, rice, oil and salt. However, as soon as he went out, he felt that there was something wrong there.  When he was about to go home, when he was walking in front of the house, he took a look back under the cover of a passer-by. This time, he could see clearly that there were a few people in embroidered clothes watching him in the corner in the distance.  They are dressed like the embroidered censors under the command of their father back then, but they don't look like sabers. Their sabers are varied and there is no uniform system.

    Feeling strange, Li Tang stood still at the door of his house, took out a handful of peanuts from his arms, and slowly peeled and ate them. There were many people coming and going in Lingxi Town, and there were many acquaintances among them.  Tang Du said hello, and then glanced at the corner again.

    Shanzhen Lingxi is a very distinctive town in the Qingcang Dynasty. Although the name is still called a town, it actually belongs to the county level in the regulation of prefectures, counties, towns and villages.

    Lingxi Town is located on the border of Cangzhou in the northwest of the dynasty. There are border cities such as Yanxing Pass and Jinyang City in the front, and Changsheng Temple in the west, which is known as the third avenue of Qingcang. Behind it are traders from the land of four links  Luyongping City, relying on such convenient conditions, the Zheng family who lived in the north of the town set up an escort agency early in the establishment of the Qingcang Dynasty, connecting the grasslands, border gates, and commercial routes in the Central Plains. With these advantages, it quickly expanded.  Within the scope of his own family, he became the number one richest man in the town.

    Zheng Yaozu, the young master of the Zheng family, is a typical second-generation ancestor. In recent days, people in the government have talked to him many times. The content is to tentatively ask whether Li Tang left Lingxi Town before.  He left with the bodyguard team. After hearing the news, Zheng Yaozu immediately sent someone to investigate Li Tang's movements. The figure who left Li's house and went north was the secret sentinel sent by Zheng Yaozu to inquire about the news.

    At night, Li Tang closed the door and no longer cared about the sneaky figures at the door. According to the old rules, he would sit quietly on the stone table in the courtyard for a while after dinner.  On a moonlit night, the evening wind in early spring was a bit chilly, so he boiled a pot of hot water and soaked camellia picked from the mountains in exchange for a little warmth.

    After a while, I heard someone knocking on the door of my house. Li Tangshun was looking at the door to see who that person was. Lingxi Town had a night curfew. It stands to reason that no one should go out so late. In the past two days, there were always people secretly observing him, which made Li Tangshun  Tang had no choice but to be vigilant, but when he took a closer look, he discovered that it was Pei Yuanying, the son of his classmate and friend Jinyang Commander.

    Lingxi Town is located at the back of the border. Many border generals like to arrange their wives and children to rest in the rear. Among them, Pei Sisheng, the commander of the frontier army guarding Jinyang City, put his only son Pei Yuanying in the town.  Not only did he arrange for his son to be a school lieutenant, but he also had 3,000 guards to follow him all year round. He was nicknamed guarding the rear. Pei Yuanying had been operating in the town for many years, and gradually occupied the south of the town.  one side.

    Li Tang was overjoyed at Pei Yuanying's visit tonight, because there was a secret spy flying south yesterday, and Pei Yuanying was the Zhennan family, and now he was convinced that the man in black was secretly sent by Pei Yuanying.  The guest happily opened the door, and asked with a playful smile: "I don't know what the so-called Captain Pei's late-night visit is?"

    "Brother Li is here again, isn't it? It's useless to stop talking to me about it. What kind of good tea is it? Let me taste it."  After drinking a cup of tea, a servant who looked like a warrior stood beside Pei Yuanying with his sword in his arms.

    "It's just camellia, I'm afraid it's hard to get into the mouth of Captain Pei. Yesterday I told my father at the door that the emperor deprived me of the opportunity to become an official. It must have attracted someone to report you. Captain Pei today  Are you here to apprehend my father and son of the Li family for questioning?" Li Tang was sitting opposite Pei Yuanying, laughing and laughing.

    "That," Pei Yuanying was at a loss for words for a moment, and she didn't know how to reply. Then she changed the subject and said, "Why don't I know about this? You are making fun of me sincerely, right? You father and son have kept yourselves in peace, and have always obeyed the law. What is your crime?"  Yes? How about you tell me a reason for me to arrest you?"

    "Hehe, let's say goodbye. Just being imprisoned in Lingxi Town makes me bored enough. If I go to your prison, I might as well strangle me now." Li Tang took the teapot and gave it to him.  Pei Yuanying added water and drank a cup of tea herself.

    Pei Yuanying also drank the teacup in one gulp, and said earnestly: "That's not okay. You were extremely smart when you were in school. Wouldn't it be a pity to waste it like this? What if you have the opportunity to make contributions in the future and get rid of the current predicament?"  , in the future, if you become a dragon or a phoenix, wouldn't you be happy and at ease?"

    "There must be a chance. Now that we have a strong army, the invasion of the grassland is unlikely. Uncle Pei holds theThousands of elite soldiers guard the Yanxing Pass, so I lose my military merit, and I can¡¯t take the scientific examination, so I lose my literary merit. The key is that I still don¡¯t know how to practice martial arts.  "

    Li Tang could also complain to his good friend. He wished to pour out all his bitterness now, but he was afraid that Pei Yuanying would not like to listen, so he broke the topic while talking.  Pei Yuanying also didn't talk nonsense with Li Tang, and after drinking a cup, she directly took the teapot from Li Tang's face and poured it for herself.

    "I have tasted Mingqian spring tea from Dongyang Lake and Dao tea from Wudang Mountain. I didn't expect the best tea to be the camellia from Brother Li's house. I also went to the market to look for it, but I kept looking for it.  Not at all, my brother might as well tell me about this tea-frying technique, so that I can carry it forward.¡± Pei Yuanying didn¡¯t taste the cup of tea she poured for herself just now, but she savored the second cup of tea carefully  Fan, said the taste of the tea he tasted.

    "You don't come here anymore. My camellia is nothing more than a failure. Compared with Dongyang Lake Mingqian spring tea, it can be said to be a frog at the bottom of the well. It is not worth mentioning in front of Wudang Dao tea. This camellia tastes bitter.  , I'm afraid it's hard to get into the eyes of Second Brother Pei."

    "No, no, sip it carefully and slowly. Although the tea tastes bitter and hard to swallow, but after enduring the bitterness, the sweetness will return. It spreads from the root of the tongue to the bottom of the tongue. The aftertaste is endless and wonderful.  pole."

    "It's just the mountain grass that can be found everywhere in Changsheng Mountain. When my father first came to Lingxi Town, there was no rice at home, so he went up the mountain to find some leaves to cook for his stomach, but it turned out to be the tea that he drinks every day.  Brother Pei laughed."

    "What's the matter, I have lived in Lingxi Town for more than ten years, and I have never seen anyone cook this leaf as tea. Why don't you tell me what kind of mountain grass it is, so I can send someone to the mountains to find some.  Cook it yourself and taste it."

    "If Second Brother Pei likes it, I'll come and deliver it to the mansion in person some other day. Why bother to send someone up the mountain to look for it?"

    "Whether it's good or bad, then it's settled." Pei Yuanying continued to drink tea as if nothing had happened, which actually made Li Tang feel a little doubtful. It is true that there was a figure flying south in front of the door yesterday, so I asked him  Could it be that after hearing what he said yesterday, he didn't seem to know it, but he just saw that he came here just for Fengyue.

    There was nothing to say for a while, and the two sat quietly for a while. Li Tang looked at the moonlight in the sky and was intoxicated. In the end, Pei Yuanying couldn't help being lonely, and took the lead in telling the purpose of her trip.

    "To be honest, Pei came here today because of your brother's private out of town a few years ago. You also know that according to court rules, the family members of high-ranking court officials who have been dismissed from their posts will be guarded by the local officials. The purpose is to let Dai  Sinners are not allowed to go out of the town at will, the Chu family helped you a lot in the past few years, allowing you to go out and have a look around among the secrets, but after all, it is not secret, which confuses people."

    Pei Yuanying didn't continue talking, holding a teacup to drink or not, she looked up at Li Tang, at this moment Li Tang bowed his head and remained silent, he knew that he had taken advantage of the official's loophole and sneaked out of Lingxi Town to have a private relationship with Han Sheng'er.  Yes, although I have been more careful, but it is man-made, there is no wall that is not ventilated. Fortunately, Pei Yuanying learned about it today, and things are still slowing down.

    He smiled slightly, and immediately said: "Needless to say, I, Li Tang, know very well that I have made a big mistake. If Second Brother Pei is afraid that he will be implicated in associating with him, we will cut off our robes today and cut off all ties. You go away."  Your Yangguan Road, I walk my single-plank bridge, the two of us will not cross the river?"

    "Look at you, I told you that today I'm not here to inquire about crimes, and you're still trying to get serious with me. Listen to me, I've already taken care of the government. They won't go into it, but they can't just leave it at that, you  Didn't they go out by following the escort, since they don't pursue you, they have to ask for some credit from other places, as for what it is, you will know in due time, and I can't reveal it to you for the time being." Pei Yuanying raised her hand again after finishing speaking.  The teacup stood in front of him, and he secretly glanced at Li Tang.

    After hearing what Pei Yuanying said, Li Tangxuan felt relieved. If Liu Tong, the envoy of Wei Zhen in the town, had told him about this matter, things might be troublesome. However, these words were said by his classmate and friend.  It's probably not a problem anymore.

    "Second brother, actually I knew you were coming, and it really helped me a lot to have you come tonight."

    "How should I say it?" Pei Yuanying asked in surprise.

    Li Tang told Pei Yuanying that there was someone listening in front of the door last night and that he was followed by someone during the purchase during the day. However, he deliberately only said that one of the people at the door went north last night, and the other two did not.  Mentioned, Pei Yuanying nodded secretly after listening, he looked at Pei Liu who was holding a sword beside him, he was not panicked, and signaled to Li Tang not to panic, if something happened tonight, Pei Yuanying could still protect the safety of Li Tang and his son.

    "Come, come, brother Li, sit down and continue drinking tea, don't waste the good time of the beautiful night," Pei Yuanying and Li Tang greeted Li Tang after they finished speaking quietly, and just raised the teapot to pour tea  He shouted: "Don't sit still, go and boil the water!"

    Li Tang resentfully went to boil the water. Just as Li Tang was about to get up, all three people in the courtyard heard a faint sound coming from the base of the west wall. Li Tang laughed and turned back to the room to add firewood to boil the water.  On the other hand, he continued to drink camellia tea, signaling that Pei Liu, who knew martial arts, would go and investigate.?.

    "Come, come, brother Li, sit down and continue drinking tea, don't waste the good time of the beautiful night," Pei Yuanying and Li Tang greeted Li Tang after they finished speaking quietly, and just raised the teapot to pour tea  He shouted: "Don't sit still, go and boil the water!"

    Li Tang resentfully went to boil the water. Just as Li Tang was about to get up, all three people in the courtyard heard a faint sound coming from the base of the west wall. Li Tang laughed and turned back to the room to add firewood to boil the water.  On the other hand, he continued to drink camellia tea and signaled Pei Liu, who knows martial arts, to go and check it out.
